15 of the world’s most adorable bunny rabbits

While the Easter bunny remains in the realm of the mythical, these rabbits are all too real – and too cute! Skyscanner brings you 15 of our favourite bunnies from around the world. Altogether now... AWWWWW.

1) As small as dynamite, as rare as pearls

The Columbian Basin Pygmy rabbit is not only the world’s tiniest breed but is also one of the rarest in the world. It was thought to have been extinct until 14 were found and rescued!

These pygmy bunnies are small enough to fit in the palm of your hands!

2) Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?

The Mini Lop is probably the cutest breed of the lop variety for its miniature stature, and was originally known as Klein Widder when it was first discovered in Germany in 1972. How could anyone resist their adorable floppy ears?

6) Put me in your pocket

Who doesn’t love small animals? Especially when they’re as adorable as the Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. One of the tiniest rabbit breeds in the world, these bunnies are happiest with their buddies around, so go ahead and bring a home a bunch!

Did you know? Rabbits are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk.

10) Trés chic

Want an elegant-looking bunny but won’t compromise on cute? Check out the Blanc de Hotot rabbit, first bred in France, which shows off a pure white coat – save for a band of black around its eyes. You can’t deny this cutie has character!

13) Soft as velvet

Popular for their sweet personalities and velvety soft coats, the mini Rex bunnies also have a permanent inquisitive expression across their faces. Cute! They’re a huge favourite with bunny lovers in the US.

14) To bunny or not to bunny?

Bred originally in France across three rabbit varieties, this bunny was made to resemble the Chinchilla’s coat. Fascinatingly, the resemblance is derived from a mutation in the rabbit’s hair pigment. Yay, science!

Rabbits and Chinchillas are of different species and cannot interbreed. The Chinchilla bunny however, looks a lot like a Chinchilla, but with longer ears! Image credit: Ruben Alexander/Flickr

15) Plushy bunny!

These Holland lop bunny rabbits are soft, sweet and could be easily mistaken for a plush toy! Due to their non-aggressive nature, these bunnies are perfect for first-time rabbit owners as well as children – just be sure you don’t lose them amongst the stuffed toys!
